I think I introduced myself before but I haven't posted in a while so a little back-story... I have PCOS and conceived my daughter (now 21 months) via clomid, stim shot (can't remember what it was called) and IUI. Shortly after we starting TTC, I was diagnosed with PCOS and we were referred to the fertility specialist. We jumped right to IUI the first time around because DH had lower motility. It worked on the first try. Now, DH and I want to try for baby #2.
We are saving for IUI and would like to do it in September. I am going to call my fertility doctor this coming summer to get things started for the IUI. I thought, in the meantime, we could try some TI. My obgyn gave me a script for metformin which I had filled today. I was going to start my first dose tonight. I thought I would try the metformin for a few months, if I don't get preg, I was debating about asking my obgyn if i could take metformin and clomid (I read they work well together for PCOS). Will my obgyn monitor me on clomid like the fertility specialist did or should I just call my fertility doc sooner and get started with him?
